roel funcken: mercury retrograd

Prolific Dutch producer Roel Funcken has established himself an agile, meticulous sonic craftsman whose output has consistently been as accessible as it has innovative. Most recently, he opened for Flying Lotus and Tipper during his last US tour. As half of the group Funckarma, he has recorded for esteemed labels including Skam, Ad Noiseam, Arcola (Warp), Isophlux, Marguerita, and others. For Mercury Retrograde, his first release on Schematic, Funken taps into textures reminiscent of the mid ‘90s drum n base sub genre tech step, the lush downtempo of Bristol, and Hans Zimmer’s soundtrack work. This latest release adds to the ever evolving, rich, and inspired catalog of Funcken.
